The little streVh of road from th western approach of the wagon bridge ' over the Willamette river, west of Springfield, to tbe cross roads beyond about a hundred yards, demands at- ' tentlon about as much as any other public Improvement to be considered ? anywhere In this Tlctnfty. There to probably more real danger involvwdl In tbe present conditions existing; ' there than there ever was at the Mo-' Vey point crossing, on which $ 75.00O Is now being spent; and this Is only; a matter of the expenditure of a hun dred dollars or so. There nsed to be a foot walk from the end of the bridge to tbe Glenn wood school bouse, about twice tLm distance of the stretch now under con- aideration. The traditions of the ' neighborhood are that it waa built by private subscription. If any one ran furnish any precise Information about this, he will confer a favor on the ' News, and perhaps benefit the public. : This walk was probably regarded la these earlfr years chiefly as a mat- ; ter of convenience. There were na automobiles then, and no great con- -gestion of traffic at this point. It ban become an urgent matter of safety to life and limb now. That portion of the walk from the r cross road to the school bonse. after" being patched until there was nothing: left to be patched with, has entirely disappeared. Ljave that section out of the consideration. ncod h"e broken up that' part'ot waIk wnch was laid on the, sur- - :,ace' "joining the Pacific highway- on tbe east; but most of the material is lying mvar. 1 Tbe eastern end of the walk was elevated on slender posts. These posts hare been rivina- war tnv , year or two; and now the walk U twisted, rickety and unsafe. Some reople still travel over it. rather than brave il.o r.t- j nione im I I o a sBUU mediate perils below. The prewnt roadbed at that ni is barely wid? enough for two vehicles to pass safely. There is no provision for the convenience or safety of foot passengers at all. Persons who an toeen-siRhted, quick-witted, strong an! nimble can, by keeping a sharp look out, find no'.ks alone the norths , , oorner cr the road where they can out and avoid passing' rehicleB.. 'i " th"-n nnt to "ny of them at " : 1 ,,,,lrm Pe"on9 In terror I When they are 'sed to pass that i . " 'a " wnen otherwise, their legitimate er rands would , ill them that way. - lui-uBinuiiH nave Deen mada t take ud a mik,r-,i,iu. . - .fwuu lu (iui in a walk again. ut why should there be resort to Dr mitlvn mthn. Uk that, just because it was done once oeiorer who is responsible for the protection of life and limb on that short stretch of road Who will have the bill to pay when somebody Is kilted or crippled there? The ' county owns all ths ground available for either vehicles or foot passengers; snd the vehicles use it all. and then have sc rarity of room. The roadbed " Is too narrow next to the bridge. The i foot passengers have no show but to dodge their way through, if they are ' expert enough. There are probably. but few places in the county where" there Is such a congestion of traffic - as at that poinL Wle doubt it there v is another plr,-e in the county on a J J public highway that is as dangeroue ) for pedestrians as that ' ' ! If anyone can show that It is not" 1 the daty of the county to obviate this i danger. M him do so. If anvona ; jean show why th county is not under as much obligation to provide for the I convenience and safety ot people on foot as for the people In the automo-t biles, In such laces, let ilm de ee ' i aud let the hat be passed at once.
